Faculty members are encouraged through wide circulation of grant/scholarships
announcements to avail of opportunities for research grants, projects and fellowships

Annexure-I
Online Student Feedback Mechanism
The context
The student‟s feedback mechanism is introduced by Integral University as per the guidelines of NAAC under
the Quality Enhancement Scheme of our University. We initiated this scheme for active student participation
in the quality enhancement strategies. Further, the University authorities look forward to getting more details
of ongoing activities in various departments, suggestions for improvement and to updated information of
shortcomings if any at the implementation level.
Objectives of the practice
In respect of students‟ feedback, a few objectives are defined as mentioned below:
1 Student contribution in planning and various activities as per their requirements.
2 Monitoring the academic and research activities and yearly improvements.
3 Get new ideas and suggestions from students for further developments.
4 Undertake department wise analysis of teaching and research and measuring of the quality aspect on the
parameters of NAAC.
5 Finding out any difficulties and shortcomings on the part of the administration, which needs the special
attention of higher authorities.
The practice
IQAC of the University has taken an initiative to develop the students‟ feedback mechanism through online
software. Because of time and financial constraint in using a printed format for receiving feedback, it was
decided to use an online format. The Software Development Cell (SDC) of the University has developed
this software. But for academician and stakeholder‟s feedback, manual process is used on separate form.
The programme for online students feedback went on in the following manner:
1 Centralization of the programme i.e. batch wise, department wise and course wise, students will give online
feedback at the University LAN only.
2 Circulation of the schedule (i.e. time, day and date for student feedback) to every department.
3 It was made compulsory for all students and this was linked to the receiving of Semester end examination
admit card.
4 Student have their own username and password so as to get the correct feedback free of fear and pressure.
The SDC has made efforts for making the following provisions:
1 Offering direct access of this feedback to the Vice-Chancellor/PVC, Director, IQAC and respective HODs.
2 Maintaining the collected data and record in a confidential manner.
3 Analysis of Department wise data and finalizing the rating of each Department on given parameters. Further
the analysis is done at university level also. A report is attached with this annexure.
5 Further, the feedback of concerned faculty members is given through the EMS.
Obstacles faced if any and strategies adopted to overcome them:
Initially resistance to online formal student feedback came from the faculty members, who were doubtful of
the authenticity and confidentiality of such a process. However after successful implementation of the
mechanism and the transparency adopted by the Vice - Chancellor in this regard the teachers are now
convinced of the practice and look at it in a positive manner.
Impact of the practice:
1 The policy of students‟ feedback has resulted in more and more improvements at academic and
administrative levels. It has led to teachers being more punctual and responsible. The remarks made by the
students appreciating the faculty member and staff were very encouraging.
2 Further, higher authorities commended the best efforts put by the faculty members. Their comments provided
additional information relating the Career advancement of teachers.
